Hello!

First name in real life: Jennilyn

Age: 18

What you do for a living: I'm a college student. I'll be second year this june.

First introduction to Queen: When I was 6 or 7 years old, my sister (who's first year highschool at that time) told me that freddie mercury's dead and he died of aids. I was shocked. but i don't even know who freddie mercury was. LOL! so we went to my aunt's house and I was so bored and sleepy that i wanted to go home. so i was sitting on this racking chair, and then i heard a song that is so beautiful. it says in the lyrics: "mama, just killed the man..." (obviously, this is bohemian rhapsody) and then i looked outside the window and i found my uncle drinking beer with his friends and listening to the music of queen! The music was sooo beautiful but i don't even know the title of it and the singer who sung it. so asked my sister and she said, that is freddie mercury and his band queen. I was shocked and that was the start of my love for freddie and queen.

What you had for breakfast this morning: It doesn't matter. LOL! Coz sometimes, i don't eat breakfast but i sleep. anyway, i don't have classes. It's vacation! School's out!

Favorite moment with Queen:When I was 11 years old (way back in 1996) my brother gave me my very first queen record. the greatest hits 1. and so i listened to it everyday. it was our summer vacation. it was a rainy day. so it was cold and then i listened to queen and it was so cool! You know, while the rain was pouring, i was rocking the house with queen songs. my second best memory was, it was 1998. I was 12 years old and then i was watching mtv. it was world aids day special. and then they played the video of too much love will kill you. and tears were falling from eyes while i was watching it. coz it's so sad. freddie died very young.

ok! now my message is becoming a novel so I got to go! hope you enjoyed reading my post.
